Man using essential oils
Welcome, gentlemen, this one’s just for you. Ladies, since you’re already here, you can check it out, too. Incorporating essential oils into your life isn’t just easy—it can also put a manly spring in your step. Pretty soon, you’ll be chopping down trees with your bare fists and wrestling bears to a draw, all thanks to these simple tips.
Check out these three categories in your life that can benefit from a few drops of pure awesomeness:
*Essential oils are indeed powerful, but please don’t try punching down trees and wrestling bears. Just use these essential oils as directed to enjoy their awesome scents and benefit from their purity.
Keeping in shape is one of the pillars upon which manliness is built. No matter if you’re crushing some bench presses, tearing up the fairway, or hiking high enough to high five an eagle, you’ll want to keep these basics in your gym bag to help you get the most from every workout:
Massage Cool Azul™ Pain Relief Cream into your skin after a workout for a cooling sensation that provides relief from minor muscle and joint aches, arthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains. Backed with our Seed to Seal® promise of purity, this pain cream will have your muscles thanking you for ditching the synthetic ingredients.
Apply Deep Relief™ Roll-On to your neck and chest before working out to inspire you to push harder or apply it as part of a post-activity massage to target areas that need it most.
Reach for Lime Vitality™, Tangerine Vitality™, or Orange Vitality™ instead of sugary sports drinks to stay hydrated! Just
a drop or two in your glass water bottle will keep you coming back for more.
Grooming sounds like such a primitive term, making it perfect for manly men like us. Separate yourself from the pack by looking great and smelling like nature itself with these essential oil-infused solutions:
Supposedly, perfume is called “cologne” when it’s for men, but let’s skip the nomenclature and ditch it altogether. Start with Shutran™, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Bergamot, Northern Lights Black Spruce, or Black Pepper to see what works best with your body’s chemistry, then create a combination that’s all yours. Dilute with a smidge of carrier oil and apply a drop or two to your wrists and neck for a masculine scent that lasts all day.
Give those lovely locks a healthy sheen with some homemade beard oil. Check out our handy beard oil blog post for some blends from the guys who know best—Young Living employees! Bottom line: If your beard is oil-free, it’s just not living up to its potential.
If you truly must shave, make sure you’re at least doing it with the best stuff. Shutran™ Shave Cream is full of hydrating ingredients and pure essential oils that’ll give you a close shave with a great fragrance.
You like food. You like flavor. So why haven’t you been super-charging your healthy cooking with the intense flavor of essential oils? Check out these ways to get more essential oils into your diet:
Perfect for boosting flavor in almost anything you’re cooking, essential oils are like a flavor bomb compared to dried herbs. Add Lemon Vitality™ to fish, Black Pepper Vitality™ to steak sauce and marinades, and Basil Vitality™ to Italian. Get creative—your taste buds will thank you for it.
Add a splash of hydration to your routine by keeping NingXia Zyng™ handy. Or if you’re in real rush, reach for NingXia Nitro® to keep your athletic performance and cognition at its peak. Both are delicious, convenient as heck, and infused with essential oils.
Still not sure where to start? This blog is a great resource that’s frequently updated with recipes that incorporate essential oils in innovative and delicious new ways. Check out our Vitality-infused marinades, Vitality-infused chicken enchiladas, and 20-minute game-day recipes to get going!

I've been wanting to try Shutran but I can't see spending $85 for something I know little about. I do not know of anyone that has tried it. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that may have tried it. Thank you
My boyfriend is black, he doesn't ever use lotions and always buys those cheap bar soaps that I feel makes his skin even more dry, ashy, and he itches a lot. I've used his soap and I can't stand how it makes my skin dry and itchy. He can't stand to have an oil rubbed on him nor on his sheets. Trying to get a massage from him with my oils for me is like never! My question is what YL men's product would be a good starter try for him? Ya know ease him in gradually! Thanks!
Hi Amanda, we recommend trying Shutran Bar Soap or any of our Shutran line products. They are great for introducing men to essential oil infused products. Thanks for stopping by!
Looking forward to the new 3 in 1 Shutran body wash!!!! Been waiting for this a long time!!!
Are they still essential oils if you drink them? I thought they were only for smelling? And, I know that with colognes if deodorants and stuff block them they don't work as well (read but does it matter for essential oils since it seems to be more for what it does to your body? Interesting post, thanks for writing it.
Hi Alex, Essential oils have enhanced lives for thousands of years, offering a variety of benefits from cosmetic and dietary purposes to spiritual and religious use. You can access the power of essential oils many ways, but the most common practices include aromatic diffusion, topical application, and dietary consumption. Thanks for stopping by!
My husband uses pink grapefruit and eucalyptus everyday. And smells amazing
My husband was an oily skeptic until I bought him the whole Shutran line for Christmas - beard oil for his beard, and shave cream and after shave for his head that he shaves clean weekly. Then he had me make him his very own roller bottle of Stress Away for bedtime! He's a believer now!
I like" Shutran Essential Oil" perfume most. I used this on my first date and my partner chose this oily cologne. This fragrance provides a feeling of confidence.
Sharing Young Living The Right Way. I Am Interested
